Skull And Bones has been delayed once again by Ubisoft, with the company now saying the game will be released on March 9th, 2023. The game was set to be released on November 8th. The reason Ubisoft has given for the delay is that Skull And Bones will require additional balancing and polishing.
In a statement, Ubisoft wrote, “Ahoy there, privateers. Our team is hard at work polishing and balancing the experience ahead of the worldwide launch. As a result, we’ve made the tough decision to move our release date to March 9, 2023. We’re very eager for you all to get your hands on Skull and Bones and dive in headfirst to the dangerous and exciting world of building your own pirate empire. To give you the best possible experience we’ve decided to take a little more time to make sure we can deliver exactly that.”
On the flipside, Ubisoft has confirmed that there will be an open beta for Skull And Bones ahead of the game’s launch. However, dates for the open beta have not yet been confirmed and nor have instructions on how you can access the beta. It is likely it will be as simple as downloading the beta on your platform of choice.
Set in the vast expanse of water from the coasts of Africa to the tropical East Indies, you’ll venture out as a fresh outcast taking to the waves on your small Dhow and basic spear for fishing, looking to build up your gear and skill to become an infamous pirate. On the way you’ll assemble a fleet of your own, gathering resources, crafting tools and weapons and building your ships to strengthen your position. As your infamy grows you’ll be able to take on bigger and more challenging contracts from other pirates. PvP will be optional in Skull And Bones, but the challenge in PvE will be keeping your crew happy. If they are not then they will mutiny.
Skull And Bones will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Google Stadia and Amazon Luna.
